Item #: SCP-6151

Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:

A standard security perimeter is to be established about the Subject, giving sufficient distance to the known boundaries of the Subject's territory so as to occlude line of sight and give the Subject the illusion of privacy. Ornamental plant barriers are recommended for this purpose.

Access to the Subject is restricted to Level 4 or higher personnel. Any request for access must be submitted no less then thirty days in advance and approved by no less than five already-cleared Level 4 or higher personnel and confirmed by no less than three O5 council members. Any and all non-authorized persons inside of the security perimeter are to be detained, interrogated, and either administrated Class A amnesics and/or terminated as appropriate.

Administrator note: Yes, these restrictions are fare more stringent then is the norm. Yes, they are absolutely needed. The information security concerns should be evident upon reflection.

Description:

A gneiss stone statue 2.92 meters in height, henceforth referred to as the Subject. The Subject is human in appearance, albeit gender-less and hairless, with no particular ethnic indicators. Visual matching of the banded patterns on the Subject to similar terrestrial rock formations yields an match to acasta gneiss. The Subject's estimated age is therefore 3.58 to 4.03 billion years old, pending further investigation.

Despite being composed entirely of stone, the Subject is animate, self-aware, intelligent, and capable of communication, possibly telepathic in nature. Attempts to converse with the Subject result in an audible response perceivable both by the intended recipient and any person within 9.14 meters of the subject but not to any artificial sound-recording device. Regardless of the language(s) understood by the person hearing the Subject speak, the person will hear the response in their native language. When asked how this was possible, the Subject responded that it speaks in such a way that all can understand it, but declined to elaborate further.

The Subject spends its time waiting passively within the limited terrestrial area it has claimed as its home: a roughly 15 meter square area of land containing a subterranean cave entrance in a woodland clearing. The Subject's sole activities involve guarding the entrance to the cave and cleaning itself in rainfall. The Subject will react to any person entering its home territory with regard to their apparent intentions: Diplomacy will be met with diplomacy, hostility with force. The Subject will respond with force to any unaccompanied robot present within its home territory and demand the removal of any accompanied robot and its handler.

To date the Subject has not permitted anyone to enter it's cave. When asked, the Subject indicated that it's cave contained “all true memories of dead humans.” When asked for a sample, if such a thing was possible, the Subject withdrew into the cave and re-emerged 15.25 minutes later with three small crystals. They have been stored at site [REDACTED]'s high value item area, as items SCP-6151-1, -2, and -3.

To date, only SCP-6151-1 has been successfully accessed. It containing a copy of file SCP-[REDACTED], complete with a fully effective instance of the Berryman-Langford Memetic Kill Agent. It is hypothesized that the Subject is immune to this agent as its cave must also contain the Inoculation.
